Editing dialog

[wiktorrayal]

This is my first post, I'm assuming that BL stands for banner lord, as the game in question in M&B 2 BL.

I was wandering if there is anyway to change/edit text in dialog, say I wanted to change some backstories or change what lords say. I couldn't find the file that contained this. I also have issues with editing dialog for a mod called "surrender tweaks", where I change the dialog in the xml, but it doesn't change in game.

I'm trying to get into modding, but I'd like to start super slow, the fact that I can't figure out how to change dialog isn't a great start

Hey, I'm the author of Surrender Tweaks.

You can't change the dialog simply by changing std_module_strings_xml.xml, you'll have to change the C# code in the dll files. That xml file is just a localization template for translators to base their localization on. It's not used by the game at all.

Are you familiar with Harmony? If not, I suggest you read up on it. If you want to change dialog, you'll likely have to use a Harmony transpiler.
